Jacques Mills, 31, was found shot on Godwin Avenue near Summer Street in Paterson, New Jersey, before sunrise on January 18, 2020. Police arrived shortly before 5:30 a.m., and he was pronounced dead; his killing was reported as the city’s first homicide of 2020. The intersection where Mills was shot is described as one of the more dangerous corners in Paterson.

Mills had previously survived a separate shooting almost two years earlier; after that prior incident he faced a charge of hindering apprehension after seeking treatment at a local medical center for a gunshot wound. In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 killing the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office and Paterson detectives asked the public to provide tips and contact the Paterson Police Ceasefire Unit, but there have been no public announcements identifying suspects or arrests in the case.

Does anyone have information about Mills, the January 18 scene, or who might have been involved?
